AUBO-i7 - Vision Package
AUBO RoboticsThe AUBO-i7 Vision Package is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm with 7 kg payload, approximately 886–1150 mm reach (sources conflict on exact figure), ±0.02 mm repeatability, and IP54 protection. The 'Vision Package' designation refers to research and commercial integrations pairing the arm with RGB-D cameras (e.g., Intel RealSense), tactile sensors, and deep-learning vision pipelines (YOLO, CNN, sim-to-real transfer) for tasks such as package dispatching, box-packing, and assembly — none of these vision integrations are an official AUBO product but rather third-party/research configurations. The base robot is a well-regarded, cost-competitive cobot (roughly half the price of comparable UR models) with open SDK support, though independent community reports flag rudimentary documentation, ROS1-only compatibility for V4.5 firmware, MoveIt jitter issues, and software/joint-limit inconveniences relative to UR equivalents. When equipped with vision and operating autonomously on its assigned task (pick-and-place, packing), the system performs the task without a human doing it — qualifying as Autonomous — though reliability quirks and integration complexity are noted.

Evidence-graded claims from the AUBO Robotics deep report
AUBO i-series cobots execute industrial tasks (palletizing, assembly, pick-and-place, welding) fully autonomously once programmed, with no human teleoperation performing the tasks.
Multiple independent commerce listings (Unchained Robotics [1], EFPIA [3], TSI Solutions [9]) and a JETRO government report [8] describe standard programmed cobot operation; no source indicates human teleoperation of tasks, though long-term reliability data from independent end-users is absent.
from AUBO Robotics deep report →AUBO i-series cobots cover a payload range of 3–20 kg (i3 through i20) with reach from 625 mm to 1650 mm.
Independent commerce listing from Unchained Robotics [1] explicitly details the i20 at 20 kg payload and 1650 mm reach, corroborating the full range; however, AUBO's own vendor website reportedly lists only up to 16 kg, suggesting possible product-line documentation lag.
from AUBO Robotics deep report →AUBO has established a genuine US commercial presence with warehouse, service, and training infrastructure in Detroit, supported by multiple distribution partners.
An independent business news report confirms the Kundinger Inc. distribution partnership [6], JETRO confirms the 2024 Japan subsidiary [8], and EFPIA's commerce listing independently references Detroit warehouse/service/training operations [3]; however, the scale of US sales volume remains unverified.

AUBO cobots achieve a repeatability of ±0.05 mm (i3, i5) and ±0.1 mm (i10, i16, i20).
Repeatability figures come from commerce spec sheets [1][2], which are distributor/reseller listings rather than independent laboratory or third-party benchmark tests, so the specs remain unverified by a neutral party.
from AUBO Robotics deep report →AUBO cobots are deployed across diverse industries including automotive, 3C electronics, medical/health, logistics, and catering.
Industry deployment claims are consistent across vendor and distributor sources [3][4][9], but no independent customer case study, third-party audit, or journalist report confirms actual at-scale deployment in any specific sector.
from AUBO Robotics deep report →AUBO is a national standards setter for collaborative robots in China.
This claim appears only on AUBO's own vendor materials [4] and is not corroborated by any independent regulatory body, standards organization publication, or third-party news report.
from AUBO Robotics deep report →AUBO i-series cobots are competitively priced versus Western cobots, listed at ~$15,000 USD per set (i5) and €18,100–€31,000 in Europe, with Chinese cobots broadly available in the $5,000–$10,000 range.
The $15,000 i5 price is from a commerce listing [2] and the €18,100–€31,000 range from Unchained Robotics [1] (both resellers, not AUBO directly); the $5,000–$10,000 figure is a Reddit community generalization about Chinese cobots broadly [14], not specific to AUBO, leaving the true street price unverified.
